November 2017 LA Adventure

Spread the love

A few weeks ago I ventured across the country to for meet-and-greets/pitch sessions with some of the industries best. I’ve been planning this trip for a long time and had a wide array of new concepts to discuss.

“Your books?” is what everyone asks me.

The answer is, “For sure,” but there’s more…

For nearly two years I’ve been squirreling away a robust portfolio of screen (TV and Movie) concepts ranging from animation through older-teen. This was my big chance to network with key folks in the industry to see if there could be what I call, “a match.”

My goal was to listen carefully and learn what execs were looking for and discuss my ideas in a casual format.

The whole trip was equally exhausting and energizing.

Across the board, everyone I met with was nice, friendly, engaged and insanely smart.

Here are some pics from my little roadshow:

First stop:

Then the visits:

The days were packed and the time seemed to fly by. But, I was lucky enough to have a bit of a break to lunch and shop with a dear sorority sister.

The trip wrapped with a college reunion together with a tour of the old stomping grounds and USC football game.

Since my return I’ve been working hard on proposals and follow-ups…translation: lots of time in my writer cave with butt-in-chair and head-down.

A pure delight for any pre-teen girl!! An amazing journey into the importance of friendships made at this special age. This is my go to gift for all the young girls on my life. Such a fun book and wonderfully written with girls of that age in mind. A complete joy!

My 9 year old daughter was so taken by this book that she finished it in four days. She begged me to let her stay up an extra 30 minutes each night because she was so excited to get to the next chapter of the book. This book is a must read for all girls 9-14 years old.

This is such a fun book. My family read it (out loud) on vacation and we all loved it – especially the dialogue! There’s mystery and adventure and great personalities and even some history and travel stuff that fit right in. We felt like we were in Rome.

I bought this book for my nieces and they loved it! The story was relatable and age appropriate. They loved the twist an turns with a little bit of everything thrown in from ghosts to history and even a little “romance”. My sister said she actual heard them laugh out loud (lol).
